Immediately after installing FC4 from CD's, I launched a yum update from

time, I believe I was using 1024x768 screen resolution I picked as the
default during install. Everything went well.
After rebooting, X is giving me a problem. The display hardware reports
an error on the display -
Out of range - H Freq 70KHz - V Freq 87Hz
Below is the pertinent part of xorg.conf:

The login screen appears to be at 1280x1024, or at least 1024x768. The
1280x1024 is the native resolution for the display.
Immediately after login, the hardware error appears on the display. I
have to Ctrl-Alt-+ to get to a lower resolution to see anything, and
then the virtual screen is larger than the physical screen so I have to
mouse around to the corners to see everything.
Clearly, the 87Hz is greater than the maximum stated in the xorg.conf
file. I can't seem to affect the V refresh no matter what I say in the
conf file.
I checked bugzilla looking for Intel 865 and found nothing of interest.
Any ideas?
Just to pass on testing with 1024x768 on my setup. I ended up with 72HZ
for 1024x768 and 75HZ with 1280x1024. The only choices for me was 75HZ
for both resolutions through gnome-display-properties. My monitor
section has a very wide range for vertical. (excerpt below). Intel 865G
card.
